The title is the name of a Barney song, and I thought that would be the appropriate name for a post about taking McKinley to the zoo! My friend Holly and I decided to take our little girls to the Omaha Zoo! I'd heard many great things about the Omaha zoo, but had not had the chance to go there yet. They were all right, we loved it there!
When we went, they had just recently renovated the Aquarium. It was so neat to see! They had a glass room where you were surrounded on all sides by sea creatures. There were a ton of sharks and fish swimming all around you. It was so neat to see the sharks, and a little creepy as the picture below of the shark headed right for McKinley shows! McKinley loves fish, or "ish" as she calls them, and loved seeing them swimming all around her! She kept making her fish face and saying, "ish, ish!"
We saw lots of lions, tigers, bears, some penguins, rhinos, alligators, monkeys, peacocks, giraffes... just to name a few! McKinley learned how to say the words, "animals and bears" on the trip! One of our books has a picture of a zoo in it and every time we read that book she points to the picture and says, "animals!"
Funny story about the giraffe picture below, when I was looking back through the pictures with McKinley, she saw this picture and said "giraffe". I had no idea she knew what kind of animal that was nor how to say it's name! I was pretty impressed!
McKinley liked to wave and say, "Hi" to the animals behind the glass. She was very friendly and seemed to love all the animals she got to see! We had a fun time at the zoo!
